The mechanisms of homoeologous chromosome pairing were studied in synaptonemal complex (SC) spreads of F1 Brahman (Bos indicus) × Hereford (Bos taurus) cattle. The most common SC abnormalities were bivalents with partial pairing failure and interlocks. While C-band polymorphisms could underlie most of the SC abnormalities observed in the full-blood cattle, other causes seem also to be contributing in the hybrids. The pattern of the abnormalities indicates that genie differences between the species were probably involved. Pachytene substaging data suggest that in some spreads, early pachytene bivalents with partial pairing failure may achieve complete synapsis or may be converted to interlocks by late pachytene.Key words: synaptonemal complex, hybrid cattle, interlocks.

Meiotic chromosome pairing abnormalities in full-blood and hybrid Bos taurus and B. indicus cattle have been surveyed by electron microscopy of pachytene synaptonemal complex spreads. In this paper, the full-blood spreads are described in detail, including the use of XY and nucleolar morphology and other measured parameters for pachytene substaging. Pairing abnormalities were observed in up to 9% of the full-blood spreads. Most of these pairing abnormalities (83%) occurred in early-pachytene spreads, suggesting that the mechanism of synaptic adjustment may operate in cattle.Key words: synaptonemal complex, cattle, pachytene substages.

The levels of meiotic chromosome pairing abnormalities observed in six Australian F, Bos indicus x Bos taurus cattle crosses (mean = 23%) were significantly higher than those of the full-blood breeds (9%). The abnormal configurations in the F[hybrids included partial pairing failure, multivalents, interlocks, and inversion pairing. Abnormal configurations were also present, but at lower frequency, in backcross hybrid bulls. The main types of abnormal configurations and the levels of XY-autosomal associations and autosomal asynapsis observed were unlikely to cause significant fertility problems in the hybrids.Key words: synaptonemal complex, hybrid cattle, meiosis.

Meiotic pairing was studied in the following species and their haploid derivatives: Hordeum cordobense 2x, H. marinum 2x and 4x, H. secalinum 4x, H. capense 4x, H. jubatum 4x, H. brachyantherum 4x and 6x, H. lechleri 6x, and H. procerum 6x. The study revealed (i) homologous pairing in diploid species and very little nonhomologous associations in their mono-haploids; (ii) the alloploid nature of the polyploid taxa; (iii) a certain degree of homoeologous pairing in polyhaploids despite the diploid-like meiotic behaviour of the polyploids; (iv) genetic variation in the suppression of homoeologous chromosome pairing in different Hordeum species.Key words: Hordeum, meiotic pairing, haploids.

Meiosis was studied in hybrids between Aegilops crassa (Boiss.) Hitch and Hensl. (2n = 6x = 42) having the genomes DD2MCr and six species of Secale. The chiasmata frequency per cell ranged from 6.86 in hybrids with S. cereale to 9.93 in hybrids with S. montanum ssp. dalmaticum. These results provide further evidence that a meiotic pairing control system is operating in Ae. crassa. The Secale genotypes suppress the function of this system in a manner which was inversely related to their heterochromatin content and total DNA content.Key words: Secale, Aegilops, chiasmata, meiotic pairing control, hybrids.
